Why is it that the closer people are in a relationship, the farther apart they'll be when the relationship ends? Before my ex-best friend and I really knew each other, we were at least cordial. Now, we seem to do nothing but bicker. I would say we were probably closer when we didn't knew each other than we are now; at least then we would have been nice had we met. Now....
It's like the polarity was switched on the magnet that was our relationship (theme borrowed from today's Hoopla 500). We kept getting closer and closer and closer. Then, something snapped / flipped / changed. Now, we seem to just get farther and farther apart.
